Sport Psychology

Dr. Chris Michaels is co-founder and partner with Dr. Nick Molinaro in Vantage Sport Psychology Group, LLC. Sport Psychology is a specialization that while largely focusing on performance enhancement also encompasses the areas of injury rehabilitation, team dynamics and cohesion, and athletic transitions out of sport.

Vantage Sport Psychology, the Official Sport Psychologists to training facilities such as Diamond Nation: Jack Cust Baseball and Jenny Finch Softball Academy, Xtra Effort Training Facility, and the David Glenz Golf Academy. works with athletes in a wide range of developmental levels and from many sports. Our focus is the total athlete, increasing his or her adaptive functioning in and outside the sporting venue. Our emphasis is on teaching mental skills to help move the athlete toward his or her optimal performance. Based on our belief that every athlete has the capacity for optimal performance, and that barriers impede the athlete from reaching that level, Vantage Sport Psychology works toward helping the athlete identify and deconstruct these barriers impeding optimal performance.

From his experience as a young athlete in organized sports to his experience as a two-year captain of the University of Delaware Track and Field Team, Dr. Michaels knows first hand the challenges that athletes face. "My experience reflects the research findings that athletes fall short of optimal performance due to issues such as performance anxiety, attention and focus challenges, distractibility, and confidence issues."
